lyrics

Chilly day in Chicago
We’ve broken the planet
Flood waters flowing over the granite
Grin to a grimace
Green crack in a gremlin
At least something is hitting
But that’s well tapped a reservoir
I take the position
1st or third, pinch hitting
Pitch in a pinch
Knuckleballs in the dirt
Looking ultra rich
Super fat, plush and deluxe
Triple plays in the field got me feeling a rush
Like…

I’ve never known
I’ve never known
I’ve never felt before

Know what I love
Know what I don’t love
What’s bringing me up
What’s breaking me down
Stopped looking over my shoulder
If it’s coming, it’s coming
I’m doubling down
Until it’s taking me under
Tough to call it
When most of life’s problems absolved
Because of what’s in your pockets
Not potential or promise
Making bank
Making folly out of trauma
Who knew back bones could break from a comma?
Like…

I’ve always known
I’ve always known
It shouldn’t be like before

While we still got a choice
Just kidding we don’t
If I lose my voice
I’ll either die or float
